“Do you think this is some kind of setup for us to start liking each
other more?” He asked with a smile, lying down on Eden's sleeping bag. 

“If it was, your stuff would be in here, not hers.” She noted, smiling
back. 

“Why don't we pretend to start liking each other to make them happy.” he
suggested, sitting up. 

“That's a good idea.” She said with an evil smile. 

“Okay...I'll go to sleep in here.” He whispered, put his arm around her
and lied down. 

When Eden opened the tent, she saw them sleeping together, so she just
slept with Adam instead. 

“They're sleeping together.” Eden informed with a smile. 

“Really?” Adam asked with wide eyes. 

“Yea, he has his arm around her, too.” She replied, walking to Adam's
tent. 

“I guess it's working.” He said and went into his tent. 

“This is so awesome.” She exclaimed and lied down with Adam to go to
sleep. 

The next morning, Andrea and Elijah went swimming and pretended to flirt
with each other as planned. 

“Andrea, may I talk to you?” Eden questioned, standing on the edge of
the river. 

“I'm having fun, can we talk later?” Andrea asked, not talking her eyes
off of Elijah. 

“I guess so.” She replied and walked back to Adam to help him cook
breakfast. 

When breakfast was ready, Andrea and Elijah put towels around themselves
and ate. 

“May I talk to you now?” Eden questioned, finishing her breakfast. 

“Sure.” Andrea replied with a smile and followed Eden into the woods. 

“What is up with you and Elijah.” Eden asked, leaning against a tree. 

“What do you mean?” Andrea questioned, pulling leaves off of a nearby
tree. 

“Flirting and hanging all over him.” She explained with a puzzled look
on her face. 

“Oh, that. Can I not do that?” Andrea asked with a smile. 

“Yea, but you never done it before.” She replied, walking over to her. 

“Well, he and I decided to be a little more than friends.” Andrea noted
with a big smile on her face. 

“Dating?” She questioned, getting really excited. 

“No, close friends.” Andrea replied with a giggle. 

“Oh, okay. Well, I'll move my stuff and you can share a tent with him.”
She suggested, looking at Andrea's flushed face. 

“Okay.” Andrea agreed and walked back to the campsite to find Elijah. 

As soon as she found him, Andrea took him into the river to talk to him.


“This is so awesome. Eden is totally confused.” Andrea exclaimed,
relaxing in the water. 

“Well, if she thinks it will work and it actually does work, she would
be confused.” Elijah chuckled, putting his arms around her. 

“Mmm...I love your touch.” She mumble, closing her eyes. 

“What?” He asked, looking at her beautiful body. 

“Nothing.” She denied with a sweet smile. 

“Do you actually like me?” He questioned with a puzzled look on his
face. 

“No, I just like your touch on my skin.” She replied and went to shore. 

“Okay.” He said, following her. 

At the end of the week, Andrea started to actually like Elijah. 

“Eden, I need to talk to you.” Andrea exclaimed, pulling her aside. 

“What is it?” She asked with a puzzled look on her face. 

“I think I'm falling for him.” Andrea noted with wide eyes. 

“That's great!” She exclaimed and hugged her. 

“He's my best friend, I can't do this.” Andrea said with tears in her
eyes. 

“Aw, Andrea. Don't worry about it. Just talk to him about how you feel.”
She suggested, hugging her, again. 

“What if he laughs or gets angry with me?” Andrea questioned, pulling
away. 

“Have faith in yourself and talk to him.” She said with a smile, and
then looked over to Elijah. 

“Okay.” Andrea agreed and walked over to Elijah. 

“Elijah, may I talk to you, alone?” Andrea asked, wiping her tears away.


“Yea, are you okay?” He questioned, wanting to pull her close to comfort
her. 

“I really need to talk to you.” She said, taking him by the hand and
lead him into the woods. 

“Okay, I'm listening.” He informed, sitting on a rock. 

“Elijah...I think...I think.” She hesitated, looking down at her shoes. 

“You think what?” He asked, standing up and took her hands in his. 

“I think I'm falling in love with you.” She whispered and started to
cry. 

He took her in his arms and held her for a while until he was ready to
talk. 

“I think I'm falling in love with you, too.” He whispered, looking into
her eyes and smiled. 

“Hold me.” She suggested, starting to cry once again, but he just stood
there, looking into her weepy eyes. 

He slowly leaned forward, his lips getting closer and closer to hers.
She looked into his eyes, and then felt his lips press against hers. 

Andrea was stunned, but then she took his face in her hands and started
to passionately kiss him.
